Jason,

First of all, thank you all for the v1.03 update!!

I've seen this bug in previous versions although I don't remember if anyone has mentioned it.

I'm playing a DCG, Meeting Engagement, in West Front. Actually, the type of engagement doesn't matter just as long as there are reinforcements for the US player.

When you select this company to arrive it "sometimes" likes to load the M8 HMC (P10028) onto the Willy's MB jeep (P10034). It load's the Reconnaissance Platoon fine (on the M3A3 (MG)) but simply overlooks the Machinegun Platoon and loads the M8.

Below is the snipet from the company10 OOB that this occurs in v1.03 ...
... found in the Armored Infantry Battalions, ie B1012501 etc.

44 01 46 12 C1002291 7 Armoured Headquarters Company 44 (Armour)(T/O 7-25)
44 01 46 12 P10814 Reconnaissance Platoon
44 01 46 12 P10028 M8 HMC Self-Propelled 75mm Howitzers
44 01 46 12 P10015 M21 81mm Mortar Halftracks
44 01 46 12 P10211 Machinegun Platoon
44 01 46 12 P10034 Willys MB
44 01 46 12 P10753 M3A3 (MG)

I'm going to test this more since I'm creating a DCG and I can have a weeks worth of Meeting Engagements to run to see if this happens again. Also, I'm curious if the order that the platoon's are listed has any effect ... ie, swap the Machinegun Platton slot with the M8 HMC slot.

If you've "been-there and done-that" then let me know too. Again, I remember this bug appearing in v1.02b with the same unit (P10028) during reinforcement ... but I can't be sure. I did check P10028 in the platoonOOB to make sure it cann't be loaded, that's ok ... although that file say's it's ok, who knows what the encription is telling the game!! It's not that bad, since I can unload the HMC and load the MG platoon without having a load/unload penalty. I don't remember trying to load the HMC later on ... since I figured it as a reinforcement arrival glitch.

Thanks!

Rob

I have commented on this bug, and seen it many times. I recently posted about a motorcycle platoon which travels in style in a halftrack, while the motorcycles tow an anti-tank gun!

This I fixed and will fix the OOB issue above for the coming patch.

A lot of OOB's were created, I sometimes forget the order of things.

Thanks so much Jason. We know you do a lot, and I think the huge number of permutations you have to deal with are good evidence that the "beta" release on the members area is a great part of the update process. This gives all of us a chance to participate, befor it is released to the general public. The checker that Arkady is working on should help a lot too. You need all the help you can get.

44 01 46 12 C1002291 7 Armoured Headquarters Company 44 (Armour)(T/O 7-25)
44 01 46 12 P10028 M8 HMC Self-Propelled 75mm Howitzers
44 01 46 12 P10015 M21 81mm Mortar Halftracks
44 01 46 12 P10814 Reconnaissance Platoon
44 01 46 12 P10211 Machinegun Platoon
44 01 46 12 P10034 Willys MB
44 01 46 12 P10753 M3A3 (MG)

44 09 46 12 C1002292 7 Armoured Headquarters Company Sept 44 (Armour)(T/O 7-25)

44 09 46 12 P10034 Willys MB
44 09 46 12 P10753 M3A3 (MG)

You can copy and paste these over the same two in the Company10.oob. You must OVERWRITE these, not add them!

This edit will be included in the coming patch.
